This week, we’re still with the wonderful Diana Delgado Cornejo as we travel through the land and culture of the Basque! This week we move into the region's modern history, the downsides of Basque nationalism, and the resurgence of Basque culture and cuisine in the modern era! Join us as we talk about all this and more!

Cocktail discussed:

Florentino Fizz

3 oz. Txomin Etxanis Txakolina

1 oz. Chateau de Laubade VSOP Armagnac

½ oz. Zoco Paxtaran Navarro

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker, and dry shake. Add ice, and shake for an additional 15 seconds, or until the cocktail is well chilled. Strain into a fizz glass and serve with a lemon twist.
